Teat line samples for discussion

14 teats

more symmetrical than not. I'm holding the piglet upside down so her body is not straight.

I like that she has three, almost four forward (caudal) of the midline. This gives her a solid 12 teats with the last two not too far back.

13 teats

most are symmetrical

you can see the asymmetrical caudal grouping, while that is less than ideal, it is a positive because it's in line with the mammary ridge and only marginally disrupts the symmetry, and adds to the total teat count.

12 teats

symmetrical

while this is acceptable, it's not ideal. I would prefer to see the entire teat line shifted forward/cranial. for me, registration would be more dependant on the overall quality of this piglet, wattles, ear set, temperament, and growth rate.
